paoweeotter Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 "The mass of the material that was delivered to this building was too low. Deliver more materials to this building" Contents: 1200mg of Petrol, 20kg of Ethanol I have plenty of Petroleum in my pipes but it won't go through because an Ethanol packet is blocking the way. And the ethanol packet can't get into the generator because it's full (20kg of Ethanol). Got me confused for a bit and had to redo my piping but finally realized this was the culprit. Since you can't "Empty Contents" you'd have to deconstruct and construct the generator again, which takes a looong time.

Aelfled Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 You're not the first to report this, it sucks, but you just have to deconstruct the generator, and next time build separate power generators Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/109620-petroleum-generator-stops-working-if-you-pipe-it-both-ethanol-and-petroleum/#findComment-1234628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLaeno Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Couldn't you empty the pipes to it, disable generator, fill via pipe with ethanol, empty pipes, and run generator? Not sure that's easier than just deconstructing the generator tho Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/109620-petroleum-generator-stops-working-if-you-pipe-it-both-ethanol-and-petroleum/#findComment-1234648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJones Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Has someone entered this into the bug tracker? I looked it up.

Not sure that's easier than just deconstructing the generator tho This won't work either. For some reason, you can watch the storage deplete entirely and disappear from the list, then a split second later it will show it again with a very small amount. This small amount of fuel remains until the building is deconstructed, and prevents the other type of fuel from being used.

Harlequin80 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Been there, bought this t shirt only recently. You need to filter the two fluids out and then deconstruct / rebuild the gens. There is no other solution unfortunately. I run two separate gen systems for this exact reason.
